had this idea where koda just smacks kenai for no reason and runs away after doing so, and obvisously kenai chases after him (a typical sibling interaction)
but then koda would climb up onto a tree and just taunt him from up there
and because adult grizzles dont climb trees, kenai cant really do anything except just sit there LOL

This is set in an AU called Cyberpunk Thieves, which entails sci-fi and a healthy dose of space western
(blurb has body horror!)
-(A/N: If you haaatteeee cringey backstories this is your time to gtfo! ^_^)
-Was human, now dinosaur
-She was given to a research facility housed on a mothership in outer space when she was younger, the parents being handed a flat fee as opposed to a long term contract.
-The scientists decided to experiment on large swaths of different species, and eventually altered the genetics of Sparrow so much that she has dinosaur DNA. In more specifics, a part of the Dromaeosauridae family.
-Her pinkie fingers were surgically removed and grown into the now winglets on her head, which can move and fold.
-Her last 2 toes on either foot were removed and presumably given to another patient.
-Her wings also were received from another project, in an effort to study the effects.
-She’s not brought to the brink of death or anything like they don’t exactly have a ton of subjects. But they do vivisect her or whatever to see what's going on. That and like MRI and other tests duh
-If she has any scars they’re hidden under the protofeathers so shawty is spotless 🪶
-Sparrow does not fight against scientists, as they are nice to her, but she goes unresponsive or pliant when in a medical setting due to her past. This can be jarring and vulnerable, so Sparrow avoids scientific labs, surgery rooms, and doctor's offices. 🤪😐
-Avian drugs have little effect on her, but human drugs work normally. Other variations could just make her sick or have no effect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🫠
-The relationship to value in the science she underwent is unknown to Sparrow, but she was treated well. Still, glass boxes and a limited environment led to her eventually running away.👟
-They did little behavior tests also <3 and she ran after weird animals and they recorded that. Enrichment.
-One time they forgot to feed her (since the computer had like an error or something) and she ate the animal 😳 and the scientists had no idea what to do and they let her eat it 😆
-Now a fugitive, she hides from the researching body that wants their property back. She has a reward out for her, and takes up bounty hunting as a way to earn credits.
-While running, she stumbles into Apollo and teams up for both of them, who are now outcast.
-Sparrow hides her face behind the helmet as soon as she can, and chooses a model that is humanoid, to remind herself she is human. She also insists she is human, though most ignore this.
-Sparrow chirps and clicks like most avians, though will not express this trait often. Her wings allow gliding on Earth-like planets, but can allow more or less on other planets in terms of flight.
-Of all the changes she had undergone, her eyes have not changed.
-The dark is comforting because the lab room was usually kept bright or dim🌚; also was rather homely with books, a desk, and probably other small utensils. 🍴
(I hope this brief rundown is good! If you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask)

I've touched the fabled grass and been reborn.
I'm not just touching grass. I am frolicking in it. Absolutely rolling in it. The answer really was to get off that damn phone, huh?
It's crazy how quickly my brain can rewire itself after putting aside a few weeks to stop taking obscure, inconsequential ass internet discourse seriously. I got a microdose of this when I stopped using tiktok, but after detoxing from most major social media in general this past month, I think I'm really getting it now. I sorta just woke up one day and realized that none of it matters. None of it has ever mattered!!!
And guess what! My outlook on life's improving! Which has led to both my art and writing improving as well! I actually feel my childlike sense of creativity and wonder returning, which I was certain had been long dead. I haven't felt this light in a long ass time, honestly--I've been really missing out. And I've been doing myself a major disservice by even letting this shit get under my skin in the first place.
Sometimes you gotta sit back and ask yourself "is that actually a problem real people that don't live and breathe internet have?" And nowadays, the answer's usually a resounding no! And then you can MOVE ON and it's GREAT! Just. Gotta remind yourself that the internet has turned into a place for the loudest, most obnoxious people with an Opinion™ to be loud and obnoxious. That's all it is. And it doesn't matter :] And you don't have to play into that shit
